HiBC,
The upper was designed for 7.62X39 and the only common part after that is the lower assembly. Like I said the right ammo and magazine solved the problem. Maybe it was firing about 500 rounds through it that loosened it up too. I saw a guy at the range with a .308 upper and he was having similar problems. Thats one thing about my old Yugo SKS, it was new when I got it and has almost no problems in 9 years.
